How do I report someone?

Please note: Reporting is an anonymous and permanent action. You will not see their profile again, nor will they see yours.

1. View the Profile you want to report
2. Tap the three dots in the top right corner of the screen
3. Tap Report (The image below shows the "Remove" options)
4. Tap on a reason why you are reporting this person
5. Once you select a reason, their profile will be removed
   

To Report Someone You've Already Matched With:

1. Tap your Matches tab
2. Tap the Profile you want to report
3. Tap the three dots in the top right corner of the screen
4. Tap Report
5. Tap on a reason why you are reporting this person
6. Once you select a reason, their profile will be removed

When you report a profile from Matches, you immediately disappear from that member's view, and they cannot view or retrieve the Conversation or Match. 

Check out our Terms of Service for more on how we handle reports. You can also reach out with any additional details or screen grabs by tapping Submit a Request at the bottom of this page. 

Reporting In-Depth

At Hinge, we’re here to change dating culture by providing a place where you can reliably find your next relationship among people who are on the same page and treat each other with kindness and respect. Here are the principles behind our mission:

• Humanize: We seek to bring authenticity, vulnerability, and kindness—not superficiality and objectification—to dating through everything we do, including eliminating swiping and deepening member profiles.
• Modern Dating: We want to be really good at one thing: dating. We do not aim to create a general social networking service for hookups, friendships, or business.
• Connecting: We seek to form meaningful connections that lead to great dates offline. As a company, we believe the exclusive focus on our member’s success is the path to our success.
• Relationship-Seekers: We’re looking to connect people who are ready and available to be in a relationship. We respect that long-term relationships are not everyone’s life choice, but we can’t be all things to all people, and we’ve found that conflicting intentions hurt everyone’s experience.

Given our mission, these are our requirements for membership:

• You’re looking for a relationship. You’re looking for meaningful, enriching connections among equal partners that lead to long-term relationships. You don’t have to be looking for marriage, but you’re not looking for flings, hookups, or one-night stands.
• You’re kind to others. Not everyone will be your type, share your background, or agree with your views. However, you believe each person you interact with on Hinge deserves your kindness and respect.
• You’re authentic. You don’t mind putting a little effort into your dating life because you’re invested in finding someone great. You’re not afraid to put yourself out there by authentically representing yourself - quirks and all.

If you come across someone on Hinge who isn’t meeting these requirements - on the app or in real life - we encourage you to report them. It not only helps you, but it helps the rest of the community. Depending upon the severity and the frequency of the reporting, that member will be warned or banned.

We have a zero-tolerance policy for any content or behavior that is lewd, disrespectful, discriminatory, threatening, or harassing. Our member support team reserves the right to exercise judgment in all cases.

Our member support team is here to help on your journey. You can reach them anytime by emailing hello@hinge.co
